So let's say we beat those turds on Monday...and hell freezes over and they lose to Carolina following week...they still beat cleveland and arizona...and the Ravens. They STILL win the tie breaker in terms of common opponents. We're on the road no matter what. We can drop this game and cream Tampa Bay at the closer and still be in the same position. We can almost drop both games and still be in St. Louis in January. Right?

Atlanta cannot lose to another division south rival, otherwise Saints "COULD" come from out of no-where and take our division..
It doesn't matter how many other teams we lost to in the conference.
If Carolina somehow show up and snap Atlanta after we beat them and Saints beat Buc's after we beat Atlanta we get the division Title.
Essentially we'll be tied but saints would have more division wins than Atlanta..
"Division" wins count for the Division Title.. thats my understanding of it at least. that is also why Atlanta doesn't already have the title nor the HFA already, Philly could quite possibly get that and send Saints or Atlanta to the #2 seed.
